Lowenhart BR5 opinions

So, I've got a set of BMW 7 series concave wheels that have just been laying around, not installed. I've got someone local who wants to buy them. So I might sell them.

Another local has an old set of Lowenhart BR5 in chrome laying around that he doesn't want/need. Willing to sell to me for $700 (needs front tires). They are 19x9 and 19x10, he doesn't know the offset but tire size is 245/35 F anf 275/30 R. I am much more of a concave/full face wheel fan (Euroline DH, Vienna Kreis, Amistad Dish, etc)...which is why I bought the BMW wheels. But I love the lip and the "wow" factor of the Lowenharts. Just wanting to hear some peoples opinions on them. Maybe see some pics for comparison sake. I've searched but can't find much other than on Benz.

i like lowenharts. br5 are one of my lesser favorites, but they're clean. lips and barrels are most likely welded together. lips tend to bend kind of easily.

Some of the info I have been able to read is that they have a tendency to bend. Owner doesn't know much about them so I'm kind of shooting from the hip. But they do have a nice fat lip on them.

I like the BS5 much, much better.

offsets are probably something like 38F/45R
$700 is fair if they are in excellent condition. unfortunately these wheels aren't very desired anymore.

Anymore info?

I realize anything under $1000 is hard to come by, or a weak offset. I don't mind to run a 15-20mm spacer. Does anyone have any leads on anything else this cheap?
